On this day in geekdom: July 21st

To celebrate the launch of It’s A Stampede!, every day for the next year I will be presenting a totally informative, yet totally useless fact under the banner heading: ‘On this day in geekdom’.

Yep, that’s 365 facts!

Here’s today’s slice of geekdom…

July 21st – On this day in 1978, 14 months after it first arrived in US cinemas, Star Wars is re-released in theatres. The re-release includes an additional line of dialogue, from C-3PO, that was not included in the original release. This is just one of the many additions and revisions that will take place in the Star Wars Saga over the years.
